Army Approved Boots – What Benefits Do You Get From Them?

There are all kinds of people and all kinds of footwear. There’s a very real market out there for wearing combat boots. Not all combat boots are boots that you could truly wear out to combat when you are in the army and are being deployed behind enemy lines somewhere. Some combat boots are fashion boots. And there’s nothing wrong with that, either. The thing is that some people simply prefer to have real combat boots, which are army approved, and could therefore also be worn in the army. So why do people want to wear army approved boots, anyway? There’s a number of benefits to them, as you’ll see if you keep reading on.

Army Approved Boots Benefits

Fashionable

Despite the fact that army approved combat boots are, in fact, not a fashion boot, strictly speaking, the fact of the matter is that they still do make a very strong fashion statement when being worn outside of serving in the army. There’s no denying that there’s something totally cool about a soldier boy. Even if you’re not one, you still wanna look cool. Wearing army boots is a great way to do that.

Heat Resistant

If you are working in an environment where there’s lots of heat, then army boots might help you combat the heat. Since a soldier needs to have heat resistant boots, you can expect army approved boots to keep your feet cool, even in the direst of circumstances, such as a hot kitchen or what not. I’m sure you’ll understand that if a soldier can manage to stay up and running with fiery explosions going off all around him, then a pair of AR 670-1 army approved boots is also going to help you survive a day at work.

Conserves Energy

Since it’s very important for military personnel to be able to go on for very long times, you can imagine that army approved boots are designed with perseverence and endurance in mind. High quality boots will give you a spring in your step, bouncing back that energy from your previous step to your next step.

Strength

With army approved boots, you won’t be standing as cushiony as you would on a pair of work boots. Your feet will have to work a little harder to be standing comfortably. You might be a little sore at first, but the muscles in your feet are going to be stronger because of it. That’s one of the reasons why army approved boots are only for hardcore guys such as you and me.

Balance

Some regular boots that are for sale out there, will give you an unnatural gait. The reason for this is because there is a height difference between the front and the back of the boot. So basically you’re looking at a problem created by the outsole construction here. In military boots that are approved by the army, you can expect no more than 5mm of height difference, giving you a more natural gait and letting your calves, glutes and hamstrings participate in the action in a natural manner. This is pretty much what military guys need. And so do you, or you wouldn’t be reading this article.

Lightweight

Since a soldier always needs to be light on his toes, you can expect combat boots to be very lightweight. No sense in sending a guy out to war if he’s gotta wear bricks on his feet. Soldiers will have to travel long distances when moving from one area to the next. And they’ll have to run short distances, when they come under fire. For a soldier, it’s absolutely vital that he has lightweight footwear that allows him to move fast. It can save his life. If you’re wearing AR 607-1 compliant combat boots, then you’re sure to be light on your feet, just like a real soldier.

Speed

Thanks to the fact that military boots strengthen your muscles, and the fact that they are lightweight, you can expect to move a little bit more speedy in these types of boots. While you may not need the life saving properties of a little bit of extra speed in your daily life, it’s pretty certain that it’s not gonna hurt you either. Maybe you could get a little edge on your colleagues. Outperform them at the job and get that promotion. Anything is possible with a military boot.

Conclusion

You don’t need to be a soldier in order to appreciate, or even enjoy, the many benefits of army approved AR 607-1 boots. If you want to make a lasting impression on those around you, try out a pair, why don’t you?
